Hello, Please be informed that GNU dbm version 1.14 is available for download. This is a bug-fix release. Please see the end of this message for a list of noteworthy changes.
GNU dbm is a library for manipulating a database of key/value pairs. It provides primitives for storing key/data pairs, searching and retrieving data by key and deleting a key along with its data. It also supports sequential iteration over all key/data pairs in a database. The package also contains utilities for inspecting databases, exporting them into plaintext files and for loading such files back into a database. Here are the compressed sources and a GPG detached signature[*]: https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gdbm/gdbm-1.14.tar.gz https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gdbm/gdbm-1.14.tar.gz.sig Use a mirror for higher download bandwidth: https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/gdbm/gdbm-1.14.tar.gz https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/gdbm/gdbm-1.14.tar.gz.sig Here are the MD5 and SHA1 checksums: 5b519751227f743cc57d7fb08cb69f3c gdbm-1.14.tar.gz 1a97314f631e1d538488ba629fa781dec7409901 gdbm-1.14.tar.gz [*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the .sig suffix) is intact. First, be sure to download both the .sig file and the corresponding tarball. Then, run a command like this: gpg --verify gdbm-1.14.tar.gz.sig If that command fails because you don't have the required public key, then run this command to import it: gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 3602B07F55D0C732 and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command. Here is a list of noteworthy changes in this release: * Make sure created databases are reproducible This fixes two longstanding bugs: (1) when allocating database file header blocks, the unused memory is filled with zeroes; (2) when expanding a mmapped memory area, the added extent is filled with zeroes. * Fix build with --enable-gdbm-export * Fix possible segmentation violation in gdbm_setopt * Make gdbm_error global thread safe. * Fix handling of group headers in --help output. Best regards, Sergey -- If you have a working or partly working program that you'd like to offer to the GNU project as a GNU package, see https://www.gnu.org/help/evaluation.html.
